116 Payment of share of fine to prosecutor
If:
(a) an Act imposing or authorising the imposition of a fine or other
penalty does not make provision for its application when paid;
and
(b) the prosecutor in the proceedings is not a law enforcement
officer;
the court before which the matter is heard may direct that an
amount of the fine or penalty (not exceeding one-half) is to be paid
to the prosecutor and the Fines Recovery Unit may pay out money
accordingly when recovered.
